Runner’s conditioning classes 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻

Planning any big runs this year ?
This class is designed to support your running and prepare your body for the demands of race day.

Each session focuses on runner-specific strength, mobility, and stretching to help you move better, stay consistent, and reduce injury risk.

This is not a running session. It’s the missing piece that supports your training.

🏋🏼‍♀️Package deals available with a set number of sessions per month at a fixed price.

not all muscle injuries are the same - & neither is their healing timeline ⏱️

muscle strains are graded from 1 to 3 based on severity.
knowing the grade helps guide the right rehabilitation and reduces the risk of returning too soon.

- grade 1 injuries involve mild fibre damage and can heal from a few days up to 2–3 weeks

- grade 2 injuries are partial tears with pain and weakness, usually taking 3–8 weeks to heal

- grade 3 injuries are complete tears and may take 8+ weeks, sometimes several months, to recover

while tissue healing can’t be rushed, the rehab process can be optimised. progressive, well-timed exercise supports proper healing, restores strength and mobility 💪🏼, and reduces re-injury risk.

this is where biokinetics plays a key role 👏🏼
we use exercise-based rehabilitation to help you return to sport, work, and daily life safely and with confidence.

Rest is important after a muscle injury - but rest alone is rarely enough.

While short-term rest helps reduce pain & inflammation, prolonged rest can lead to muscle weakness, stiffness, & reduced load tolerance.
This can make returning to running or gym training more difficult & increase the risk of re-injury ⚠️

Research shows that early, appropriate movement and progressive loading help guide proper muscle healing.
When introduced at the right time, exercise improves tissue quality, restores strength and flexibility, & prepares the muscle for the demands of sport & daily activity 🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♂️

This is where biokineticists can help !
Biokineticists understand when to rest, when to move, & how much to load injured tissue so recovery is safe, effective, & long-lasting.

Structured, exercise-based rehabilitation helps you return to activity with confidence & reduces the chance of future injury 💪🏼

Osteoporosis is often described as a “silent condition” 🦴 because bone loss can occur without obvious symptoms until a fracture happens.

Exercise plays an important role in managing osteoporosis and reducing fracture risk.
Research shows that the right type of exercise can help maintain bone density , improve balance , and support overall strength 💪🏼 (and confidence).

Weight-bearing and resistance exercises support bone health 🏋🏼‍♀️, while balance and posture work to help reduce the risk of falls 🚶‍♀️.
Exercise should always be appropriate , progressive 📈 , and tailored to the individual.

As Biokineticists , we design safe , evidence-based exercise programmes for people with osteoporosis or low bone density , focusing on strength , posture , balance , and long-term movement health.

If you’ve been diagnosed with osteoporosis , movement remains both possible and beneficial when done correctly.
